Edinburg City Park and World Birding Center
WBC admission fee for seniors about $2 per person
The Edinburg City Park and World Birding Center is just a short drive from the park. The park and adjacent lakes are popular picnic sites for the locals but are usually empty on our weekday visits.
We will ride the paved bicycle/walking/fitness track around the park. Following that we will enter the World Birding Center. This has been an excellent area for viewing a variety of birds.
Join us for lunch at the Willies BBQ Restaurant following the ride.
Bring:
Camera,
Binoculars,
Bird Identification Guide (if you have one).
Forecast:
Partly cloudy, temperatures around 80!
A great day for a bike ride!
